Yes, it is a distinct possibility. I remember something similar happened to my phone (a Nokia or was it an Asus?), I don't remember now, but it did mar the appearance. But, unlike an iPhone, you Can change the back cover (or the front), and within the warranty period of one year, the replacement is free! After that, who knows, we all may have traded it in for a dual core device, or better!
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
I don't think dust alone will scratch it. Considering it's been naked and been in and out of my pockets and found no scratch on the back.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Till I find a reasonable case and screen protector, I'm using a capdase cloth/foam case they provide additionally for their series of gel cases for the ipod touch. Hey, has anybody found a capdase cover for the IS? The case they provide for the ipod touch has a gel case, screen protectors and a cloth/foam cover and a stand for vertical or horizontal viewing, all in a pack reasonably priced below $10.
[HTC Incredible S] Fisk91:
Recently bought the barely there black case from case-mate and i gotta say, i really love it. It fits really well, it looks like a part of the design and that is great since i love the design of the phone.

It also provides a better grip and it comes with a great screen protector... only problem is it only comes with one so don't screw up like i did, now i have to buy a new screen protector...
[HTC Incredible S] lalexl:
Anyone as buy a Safe Skin ?

If yes any feedbacks ?
[HTC Incredible S] despard:
Do you mean the silver mirror one??

I do love it either, it looks really cool:)
[HTC Incredible S] KROMO50:
Just order the safe skin will let you guys know. Also if you us promo code moms11 20% off
[HTC Incredible S] lalexl:
nha i'm in Canada .. do you know promo code for CA :P

Btw if you can make a litle video that would be nice i've search on youtube but didnt fin anything. I will surely go with the barely there if the safe skin isnt what I am looking for
[HTC Incredible S] Fisk91:
Nah the black one
[HTC Incredible S] KROMO50:
Does that code not work for Canada? Bc i could not find another one
[HTC Incredible S] lalexl:
Didn't try.

Waiting to find some review about the safe-skin to make my choice between safe-skin and barely there.
[HTC Incredible S] KROMO50:
Got the safe skin today do not like it at all. Going back and getting the tough skin i like the hard shell style more. Just feels really cheap.
[HTC Incredible S] lalexl:
How is it ?? Is it like a rubberish skin ...
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
I got the casemate today. I like it. Minimal. It was the only case they had at the store. So I'll stick with it til I find something else I like.
[HTC Incredible S] TimMun:
I received my case wednesday allready! They shipped it from the us on April 30th and it was supposed to take 3-4 weeks to ship to the netherlands but instead i got it 2 days ago! :D

Very nice case! ;)

HTC Incredible S Gelli Case
[HTC Incredible S] KROMO50:
Yes to much Rubber hate it. Got the hard shell one.
[HTC Incredible S] Nay Linn:
Is it the safe skin or barely there?
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Oh, oops! Sorry about that! It's the Barely There one. It's decent and has a nice feel to it. But I don't totally like it because it doesn't completely cover the bottom and top. The only reason I got it was because I needed a case right away, and it was the only one available at the store.
[HTC Incredible S] JmExperia:
I have now used the "Barely there" and now I am throwing it away!!!

It looks really good, but it completely blocks my phone signal (Wifi signal does not get disturbed).

It is strange thou... My wife got the same cover and she has no problems with signal?!?

Kind regards

[HTC Incredible S] KROMO50:
the tough case is great. Fits good and feels great in the hand. does not add much size and the 2 layer protection is great. One of the best cases i have owned. Got it for $22 with coupon off case-mate website with free shipping. Here is a 20% off coupon CM04-DG20
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
I'm not having any problems at all with signals being blocked. That's very weird... :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
I got my CaseMate yesterday and its OK. The side is a bit loose, but i like tha the rubber isn't so sticky like som silicone cases.

No problem with signal og WiFi.
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
case-mate use sells all the cases except the barely there one. Anyone know if they are out of stock or something? http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Droid-Incredible-S-Cases/HTC-Droid-Incredible-S-Cases.asp

Also, for those who bought the barely there, did you also buy the screen protector? http://www.case-mate.com/Screen-Protectors/Case-Mate-HTC-Incredible-S-Screen-Protector-2-pack.asp

if not, how do you guys clean the screen, windex?
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
The Barely There came with a screen protector. It's an awful one, tho... NEVER use windex on your screen! You'll wreck it! Get a screen cleaner if you want (like the ones for laptops, tvs, etc.). But I've never had to use one for my phone. I just wipe it with a soft cloth and it's clean! :)
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
for some reason case-mate.com in the US carries all the cases except the barely there. http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Droid-Incredible-S-Cases/HTC-Droid-Incredible-S-Cases.asp

I'm hoping it becomes available at some time. Even though I sent customer service an email and they replied that they had no idea if it would.
[HTC Incredible S] a.2mjed.a:
I'll get one of them soon :)
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
It's available now throgh their store on amazon

nice thanks maaaan
[HTC Incredible S] wondy:
My CM Tough doesn't suit well. I have i9100.

Plastic does not press silicon in some places and it looks like this:

I also didn't get oryginal screenguard and cloth. It was in seperate package and produced by ATX.
[HTC Incredible S] squeeish:
Yea you gotta press and massage the silicon case into the hard case. Should be perfectly fitted in 2 minutes.
[HTC Incredible S] KAwAtA:
If you move it around and press it together better, it'll fit in place perfectly (That's what I had to do as well) eventually "mastered" it
[HTC Incredible S] -Maverick-:
Anyone have a coupon for case-mate? The one posted has already expired. Looking to try out the Tough Case for my sisters phone.

edit: found one online, this one will likely be no good after the long weekend is over.

There is a new leak of gingerbread out for the SGS over in the I9000, and apparently this is supposed to be version that will be the official release.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
[Captivate General] Seamus1:
Nice, hopefully it doesn't take forever to see it officially released like it did with Froyo!
[Captivate General] amtrakcn:
Waiting for source
[Captivate General] garringm:
I'm not too worried about AT&T, I believe once the source is released we will have many official releases XDA style
[Captivate General] Dani897:
once the source is out we will have it. thank god for xda! and of coarse supercurio! i have been rocking out to music for the last couple days thanks to voodoo sound, not that the sound was bad before but now i can really appreciate it. also getting some better iem's (in ear monitors) the samsung ones are ok, well for an included accessory they are amazing but nothing compared to what is out there. i wouldnt think about getting a different phone right now. but i will see if the infuse has the hifi wolfson amp in it. the galaxy s 2 looks amazing but makes me wonder what will be out when i am up for a new contract.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Neat, hope the source appears sooner rather than later after the official release.
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Lol... I must be losing it. And official sgs 2.3 leaks and this is the extent of the discussion. O.o.... Lol wtf.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
most people are more excited by cm7 for some reason. this is what i will use as soon as a reorient kernel comes about, all i can do is hope the source is realesed shortly. i think it was available pretty quick after jpx/jpy were released so i think it wont take long.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
Nevermind :)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Probably because this is like the 5th thread this weekend about this.
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Regardless... It's a big deal. And none of the other threads made it very far. At all.

Go look at the i9000 forums. They're littered with posts and 2.3 sgs roms. All we have are crickets.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
To be fair, we don't have the source available, so the leaked rom is kind of useless to us. It's a neat novelty, just to flash for a few minutes to see what's in store, but it's definitely not something you would use daily.
[Captivate General] TriC_101:
Just downloaded the Rom.. anyone know of a good kernel to use with this rom?? will CM7 kernel work with this rom? since its 2.3.3
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Highly doubtful.. It should come with a compatible kernel and modem packaged in to it.

I wouldn't flash it straight through odin if I were you, though. If you have access to a linux machine, you should repackage it as a cwm flashable zip that doesn't flash boot or sbl, otherwise you risk either perma-bricking your phone or locking your bootloader.
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
My memory must be going. I remember us having ported i9000 2.2 roms well before the source dropped.
[Captivate General] amtrakcn:
Stock kernel will boot, but there will be sound logic, screen orientation, button mapping...... problem list extends

Not until Sammy realeses the source code of GS gingerbread ROM that we can have reoriented kernels.
[Captivate General] amtrakcn:
No... We didn't have reoriented kernel until JPM source was released. And before that, we were playing with the leak JI6 Captivate Froyo.
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Guess it's time to start taking vitamins.
[Captivate General] cropythy:
Vibrant owners have a port of this already, so yes it would seem that reorienting can be done without source, but devs aren't touching this for some reason...I really hope that changes cause I want to try this out but don't have the knowledge base to try to reorient the kernel myself and don't have time to learn currently.

No source, no kernel, no ROM. That simple.

do you know any solution to make them bigger?

is there any program for doing it?

I do not know how to do it myself, maybe you can check the WIKI for the launcher.

I take it under dock settings you have it at maximum size?

Just switched from go launcher last night N getting used to this one, not sure which one I like.

Would LCD density not change the size? But then again u would loose some of that real estate on the screen

there is an application called''shirink grow'' for iphone users.you can set the icons size very easly.i hope i will find for Dell streak..

Check it out in this video at 3:25-3:45 (sorry if this has been posted already..)

www (dot) youtube (dot) com (slash) watch?v=EVostB97nTY

(apparently I can't post links because I'm a new user.)

I really hope this is true, I might seriously consider buying the 8.9 or 10.1. Samsung, please don't screw this up!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
This kinda mirrors what we've been hearing from other news outlets. There's a lot of talk about it being optional and a later upgrade. I don't think many people are going to want to upgrade to TouchWiz after dealing with stock 3.0 though lol.

Really tough though, there's no lack of misinformation around there. Samsung themselves wouldn't even give any idea of which tablets in which markets would even get TouchWiz4.0, let alone launch with it installed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ryude:
From the videos I have seen, I would upgrade to touchwiz if they fix the lag.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
I've never understood the unconditional love for stock Android. Other than the fact that updates should come quicker, it is completely stale and barely appealing. Honeycomb in this case is fine, but I'm sure manufactures could only do more to improve it. I mean, Samsung added re-sizing widgets, its amazing that Google hadn't thought to add such a feature that should seem obvious at this point.

It appears Android can ever become truly polished without outside help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Its not that we love stock Android (well, some of us do), its that we hate what these skins do to the experience. They're often slow, and not necessarily without bugs. They also delay (or eliminate) later updates, which Honeycomb as we all know is going to need them.

I'm completely fine with custom UI's from manufacturers, but the biggest thing 99% of people have with them is they can't be removed! Let me have a checkbox in settings to remove it and I'll take whatever you have to give me at the point of sale of the device. I think Google is realizing that these UI's on 2.1 and 2.2 are a bit out of control, and they're trying to shut it down in 3.0 because honestly I think they've thought a lot about the UI in Honeycomb and how it relates to these tablets.

If Google completely disallows the application of custom UI's (or UX as Samsung wants to call them), then manufacturers will have to differentiate with hardware and if they want to add software it is gonna have to come in the form of bundled Apps and Widgets. That's 100% okay with me. Apps and Widgets really can add to the experience, without taking anything away from stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
What recent... major Android device has been released with a sluggish UI? I'm honestly curious.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Every phone with Sense and TouchWiz I've ever used is slower and less CPU/RAM efficient than stock 2.2/2.3. You really don't notice the difference in day-to-day use until you experience stock. I never said "sluggish" but they are most definitely slower than stock. Any time you're adding additional UI elements the speed is probably gonna be the first to decrease.

Don't get me wrong, I love some of the work that manufacturers have done (mainly HTC) but their skins are very unnecessary at many points and I understand their strive to differentiate but its getting a bit ridiculous (I'm looking at you, Motorola Blur) that the skins often impede and are worse experiences than stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
I've experienced stock, I own a Nexus One. However, I haven't spent an extended period of time with a non-Vanilla version of Android other than custom ROMS... so I assume this could be true.

Considering that I barely hear anyone mention how "slow" these skins are, I assumed it was an issue that was resolved with these newer phones.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Its definitely less of an issue now with every phone being at a 1ghz clock or higher, and many coming out with dual core. But when it comes down to it its still extra weight over stock :( . You definitely hear more people complain about the lack of functionality more than the speed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
I have rooted many phones and after installing stock android (getting rid of UI's) I have noticed a noticeable speed increase in day to day activities.

I think the choice of Stock or Custom is something that has been a bit of a "duh" thing from the beginning. Im still a bit shocked that Android didn't force manufactured to make skins optional, but I'm glad to see Samsung doing this since they are one of the primary foulers on this update vs custom ui issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I could care less with skin like TouchWiz or Sense (no, not Motoblur!).

The only thing I am worried is the speed of update from Samsung or HTC.

That's all ...

Knowing that Google is holding Android Honeycomb 3.0 AOSP ... and another rumor of suppose to be "the" Google Tablet:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011540

That made me re-think ...

The GTab 8.9" won't be available in Europe on June 2011 anyway.

It will be most likely on August 2011 or even September ...

I hate this situation, especially when my wife asks "When will we get a tablet? You are always waiting ... and waiting ...".

Yeah, when the GTab 8.9" is released in Europe, news about Google Tablet OR Honeycomb 3.1 OR QUAD CORE Tegra will be materialized :(

Next May, on Google IO, that would be one of the best news to watch and decide ... GTab 8.9" or NOT GTab 8.9", that's my million dollar question!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Same here... :-(

By the time I will be able to buy thin GT 10.1 there will be quad tegra right behind the corner... :-(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
You have to just go ahead and get something and be happy with it. Say you wait for the GTab to come out just as the Quad core Tegra stuff is materializing, so you continue to wait. Then the Quad Core stuff gets released just as the 6-Core or Android 5.0 stuff is shown. You'll end up waiting for ever. You just gotta get the best of what's available, put your head down and play with your toy for the next few years and try not to worry or think about what the "hot" new item around the corner is. The market just moves too fast for that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
People seem to fail to realize that something better, especially when related to technology, is always around the corner. And unless you want to spend thousands of dollars trying to stay up-to-date, you need to get that one thing that makes you the happiest... or just like the poster above me stated, you will end up waiting and waiting.

Make up your minds people~
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Magnesus:
Buy something now, sell it later and buy something new. I did something like that with e-reader - when I was tired of waiting for a perfect one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
That's true ... I can just buy something right now instead of waiting.

But, that "right now" is not available here in Europe.

And we still don't know what is that "right now" in Europe.

For start, I don't think I would buy a tablet with Android 3.0.1.

There are so much instability issues (read Xoom forum and official Moto Xoom forum).

My gut feeling tells me, during Google IO, there will be a new much better version of Android 3.x.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Just in:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/31/google-tightening-control-of-android-insisting-licensees-abide/

So, don't worry much anymore :)

I think, this TouchWiz 4.0 on Honeycomb already got screened by Google.

Meaning, it should not be deeply integrated. Most probably it is just a layer installed on TOP of Honeycomb, which can be uninstalled.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
I honestly doubt it can be uninstalled, but I can't wait to find out. It looks like they replaced the launcher, added a few apps and added their own skin to UI elements. It doesn't sound like you can simply "uninstall" all of what they did.

Edit: After checking over a few photos again TouchWiz is definitely integrated into the system. It appears as if you would have to flash an entirely new build over it to remove it. Not preform a simple uninstall. Then again, what do I know?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I think this is the case too. This may explain why Samsung haven't released it yet as they are make sure the TouchWiz UI layer conforms to Google's restrictions (i.e. sits on top of the Application Framework layer). If this is the case, then it should be uninstallable like any other application. Time will tell but I really hope this is the case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] borchgrevink:
Any more news on this lately?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
Google recently announced (via Andy Rubin) that they do not and have no plans to prevent manufacturers from altering the Android UI. Therefore, only time will tell as to what Samsung have actually done with the UI and whether this is a light customisation on top of Android Application Framework that could be uninstalled or if it goes much deeper like the previous TouchWiz interface. To be honest, I don't really care which way it goes as long as it doesn't delay Android OS releases by Samsung. If the modified UI causes long delays then I'd rather have stock UI. It may not be as fancy but at least the Android OS updates would be timely.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bcmobile:
I think I'll give touchwiz a big miss. Had the old Tab and used Go Launcher instead.

Having said that, the biggest problem with touchwiz on the old one was that it was 5x5 so all of the normal 4x? Widgets were off center. Horrible!
